The system isn't rebooting when I exit a session now but I still have
the first problem and it is definitely happening in the rtld code.
Further, when I ssh out the remote sites don't recognize me or something
because on the few systems (mostly local) that I have a .shosts file I
still get asked for my password.
Also, my xterm (really an IPX running NetBSD) won't run any programs
on the remote system any more.
All this stuff was working before and I am at a loss to understand how
a simple upgrade makes it all fail so badly. There must be something
that I missed but I can't see any common element here.
Meanwhile, I am rebuilding the kernel, userland and pkgsrc daily with
no change.
